As a sports club, you have the unique opportunity to shape not only athletes but also the future leaders and coaches of tomorrow. Today, we’re reaching out to clubs who are passionate about investing in the development of young people and helping them grow through sports.

Why offer a volunteer placement?

Providing a volunteer pathway for young individuals within your club offers them hands-on experience, valuable skills, and an invaluable opportunity to contribute to the community. It’s not just about helping young people develop a passion for the sport—it’s about giving them the tools to lead, teach, and grow in ways that will serve them in every area of life.

What are the benefits for your club?

• Develop Future Coaches & Leaders: By offering training and mentorship to young volunteers, you’re helping develop potential coaches, referees, or administrators for your club.
• Fresh Ideas and Enthusiasm: Younger volunteers bring fresh perspectives and energy that can help energise your team, attract new members, and strengthen the club’s community spirit.
• Community Impact: Your club will be recognized as a place that invests in young people, building its reputation and fostering a positive, inclusive environment.

How Can You Get Involved?

If your club is interested in supporting a young person on their volunteer journey, we’d love to hear from you! We’re looking to connect with clubs that are willing to offer a structured pathway for training, mentoring, and providing opportunities for young volunteers to gain hands-on experience in coaching, event management, or any other aspect of club operations.

What We’re Looking For:

• Sports clubs committed to youth development
• A willingness to provide training and mentorship
• Opportunities for young people to get involved in coaching, event planning, or other roles
